STRAY SUNBEAMS.

A correspondent wants to know how many
ante-bellum United States senators still sur
vive, and their names. 1t is not very long
list, but 1t contains some names that will
always be associated with American history
They are HAMLIN and BRADBURY, of Maine;
WINTHROP, of Massachusetts,; FISH, of New
York; SIMON CAMERON, of Pennsylvania;
CoNEYGES and SALISBURY, of Delaware; AN
THoNY KENNEDY, of Maryland; II. NJ. RICE,
of Minnesota; CLINGHAM, of North Carolina ;
JEFFERSON DAVIS, of Mississippi; MERI-
wEFHER, of Kentucky: FITCH, of Indiana;
FETCH, of Michigan; TRUMBULL, of Illinois;
DooLITTLE, of Wisconsin, and JONES, of
Iowa-seYenteen in all.
~
1t is a remarkable fact that the successors
of the three great Wing leaders
CLAY, WEBSTER and CLAYToN-are still
living. ROBERT c. WINTHROP, of Mas
sachusetts, was appointed to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of
DANIEL WEBSTER When HENRY CLAY died
the governor of Kentucky filed the vacancy
by the appointment of Ex-Governor DAVID
MERrwETHER. Mr. CoNEYGEs, of Delaware,
who was appointed to fill the vacancy oc-
casioDed by the death of JOHN NJ. CLAYTON
never cut conspicuous figure in national
politics.
80
The oldest of the surviving ante-bellum
senators are SIMON CAMERON of Pennsyl-
vania, and GEORGE W. JONES' of Iowa. Mr..
CAMERON Is ninety years of age, but still as
trisky as a yearling colt. He is now on
pleasure jaunt in Europe. hobnobbing with
BUFFALO BILL and ANDREW CARNEGIE. Mr.
JONES, the veteran Iowa Democrat, is eighty
three, and was recently an unsuccessful APP
plicant for the appointment of postmaster at
his place of residence.
49,
Ex-Gov. FISH, of New York, succeeded
DANIEL s. DICKINSON in the senate JAMES
w. BRADBURY, of Maine, was the last Demo-
cratic senator from that state. He was the
author of the 'fee bill'' of 1853 which fixed
the compensation of all officers of the United
States courts, and which has never been
changed or modified. ANTHONY KENNEDY
of Maryland, was elected to the senate as a
Know Nothing, and is the last remnant of
party that once assumed formidable pro.
portions in this country.
~
Mr.. CARROTS explanation of the state of the
Baltimore L. Ohio road is that he wanted to
be released from the worries of a great and
necessarily aggressive business. 1t is evil
dent that the young man is not made of the
stern stuff his father was. When the elder
Garrett was at the head of his great railroad.
he would not have exchanged places with
the car of Russia. 1t was enjoyment for the
old man to make money and it is going to be
pleasure for the young man tospend it. So
goes the world,

Mr.. stickney's Belt Line.

Chicago Tribune.
The buying of acres In haywood and
in Lyons township to the northeast of
the tract recently bought by the Stick
ney syndicate no doubt has in view the
construction of a railroad line from a
point near Elmhurst, ON the Chicago g
Northwestern road, south and east, as
was indicated in a paragraph published
last Sunday. 1t is probably safe to say
that the line will be constructed by the
Minnesota & Northwestern Railroad
company, which is now using the tracks
of the Wisconsin Central to enter the
city. The idea is not that of belt
line, though the connections of the road
will practically form a new belt line
outside of the present one. The pur-
chases by the Stickney syndicate extend
east to within quarter of a mile of the
belt line, and it is believed that some
further purchases will be made,
brokers who managed the deal just
contaminated. When the details of Mr..
Stickney's scheme are published it will
be found out that there are some lead
ing capitalists connected with the enter
prise whose names have not heretofore
been mentioned. 1t is a great under
taking and will give employment to
large number of men, who will soon be
set at the work of construction. On the
Lyons track recently purchased by the
syndicate will be built, it is said, rail-
road running in circle, on which will
abut the transfer yards, stock yards and
car shops. Aspur line will connect this
road with the Belt line, and the whole
will be connected with the Minnesota &
Northwestern road running to the
Northwest IT. iS stated Inv narSOnc 70

moments later, where he told an &C
quaintance the same story he had told
Spencer. Nobody knows where he went
from Carlson's, but man answering
his description was seen that night at
the fremont Exchange, ON Robert
street, trying to raise loan of SIS on
light overcOat. Reid took the train
either that night or the following day
for Chicago. Manager Scott Gmnn was
confident that Reid had gone to Chicago,
because he left an address where he
would receive mail at 1853 Randolph
street, in that city. The suppositiOn
was confirmed last night, when Mr..
Gum received
A TELEGRAM FROM HIM,
dated Chicago. Sept. 5, and reading:
See father, get money and ship at once my
trunk to Alliance, o. HARRY RUTLEDaE.
The trunk will not go to Reid, for it
has already been disposed of by Mr..
Spencer to satisfy his claim of SIS. Man.
ager Gum has Reid's dressing gown,
which is his only showing for SIS which
Reid Overdrew on his salary. Reid,
under the stage name of Rutledge, was
the leading man at the West Side opera
house, formerly Liedertafel hall, which
is located on Congress and State streets,
and Miss Maud COulston took juvenile
part. Reid appeared on the stage for
the last time Thursday night, and the
opera house has not been open since
Friday night, partly owing to the lack
of financial resources and partly to the
above affair.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

There is great deal of significance to
be attached to the late railroad deal
whereby the ownership of the Baltimore
& Ohio road was transferred to the
Pennsylvania company. 1t not only
means the virtual consolidation of two
great competing trunk lines but it
means the beginning of system
whereby all the railroad transportation
in this country is to be controlled by one
management. 1t not only avoids the
provision in the interstate commerce
law against pooling. but is really the en-
tering wedge of plan intended to de-
stroy competition in railway transporta-
ton altogether. The magnitude of the
deal by which the Baltimore & Ohio and
the Pennsylvania railroad system have
been linked together is hardly appre-
ciated by the public. Both systems
are mammoth in their proportions.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
owns its own line proper, the united
railroads of New Jersey and the Phila-
delphia & Erie road, with their several
leased lines. In addition to this it con-
trolls through the Pennsylvania COM
pany, an auxiliary organization, a sys-
TEN of roads having an aggregate mile
age of over 5000 miles. Then there
are number of lines maintaining indie
pendent organizations, but are directly
associated with this company, such as
the Philadelphia, Wilmington d Balti-
more, the Baltimore 81 Potomac, the
Northern Central, the Camden & Allan
tic, the New York, Philadelphia 81
Nofolk road, and other lines, netting an
aggregate of probably 1,50O miles. The
Pennsylvania system either directly or
Indirectly includes a total mileage of
from 5000 to 5000 miles. The Balti-
more & Ohio proper has 731 miles and
the lines directly associated with
the company constisute a mileage of
from 1900 to 5000 miles. Thus we see
a consolidated railway system affected
by this recent deal, embracing in the
neighbOrhOOd of 10000 miles of railroad
lines and some of them the most i'm
portant trunk lines on the continent.
1t makes formidable railroad organi-
cation. 1t makes the Pennsylvania
combination the AARoN's road of the
American railway system. This deal
puts it in the power of the Pennsylvania
company to swallow up all competitors
and for that matter to swallow the ell
tire railway system of the country.
Whether or not it will exercise its power
will be developed further along. At all
events it is time for the people to
awaken to the fact that they are con-
fronted with new phase of the rail-
road problem, more dangerous in its
tendencies than anything that has yet
been presented.

The Police Commission.

At the meeting of the Minneapolis
police commission yesterday the reports
of Supt. Helm, Capt. Hankinson and
Police Surgeon Kelly, published some
days ago, were approved. City Attor-
ney Seagroye Smith handed in his
opinion to the effect that the
commission had power to erect
new police station. and dur
ing the time such building was
being erected to procure temporary
quarters. On the strength of this the
commission authorized the committee
on property to advertise for bids for con-
structing a new station ON the plans
furnished by Orff Bros, and to imme-
diately procure quarters for temper
airy lookup and furnish them.

night he said:
Colorow is On the reservation, and that is

least, all trouble is over. There will be no
more trouble this season at least, if there is
after that. The only difference now is in re-
gard to the restitution to the Indians of the
horses and cattle stolen by cowboys and other
men. The alleged Indian horsetheves have
not been surrendered and l don't suppose
they will be. don't see why they should be

DRAMATIC NOTES.

DANIEL SULLY' s first presentation of Daddy
Nolan in st. Paul was very agreeable one.
The storm last night kept a great many peo-
pie from the opera house, still there was
more than an average attendance and the
audience gave demonstrations of complete
approval. Daddy Nolan is sequel to the
Corner Grocery and as literary produc-
ton is decidedly the best of the two. 1t is a
play of unmistakable merit and the various
elements employed in it are arranged with
skill. There is nothing particularly novel in
either theme or incident yet the story is well
constructed and exeellently well told by Mr..
sULLY and his company. The comedy is
broad, yet never goes beyond the bounds of
